What are "issued shares" or "stock"?


Good question. This concept often gets confused with “authorized shares 1”. Issued shares are those shares that the corporation 2 has actually “issued”, i.e., transferred to a shareholder 3. This can be in the form of a certificate, and that can be typical in a small business. In larger businesses, the ownership of issued shares is usually a journal entry in the corporation's books and records, or with the broker. The number of issues shares cannot exceed the number of authorized shares.
